Today is shit already and its just 9:30.
My husband is out of town so I got to starfish the bed....except I couldn't sleep. And then he left his alarm on so I woke up at 6:45 for no reason.
The workers that are supposed to be fixing some issues in our (rental) house were 30 minutes late so I got up 30 minutes before I needed (see above why I'm extra annoyed with this).
There is a water leak issue related to the stuff the workers are supposed to be fixing. Of course it isn't their fault, it must be the sprinkler system, except the sprinkler system was checked two weeks ago and it was fine. And it wasn't leaking until after the workers were here.
The glue/materials the workers are using smell horrible. I'm sensitive to smells anyway, but this is bad.
I was the 4th car in the parking lot this morning. At 8:45! I should have teleworkered.
And I have to go to Dallas on Sunday for a week. Yay travel! But then I get back and leave 2 days late for Columbus OH. I kinda miss the work travel I use to do, but then I remember how much it sucks to have back to back trips. And to exciting places like Ohio.
My continued vent. These dumb construction guys still are trying to claim they didn't cause the water leak and that its been leaking like that all along. Yeah, pretty sure I would have noticed an actively dripping pipe for months. I really hate people today.
Someone put my phone number into their DC parking app. So now I get the SMS messages when their time runs out. There is apparently no way for me to fix this. I've got my friend at DDOT working on it, but she is coming up blank. It's in the app. They can't do anything.
I care bc I'm a Luddite that doesn't have unlimited text messages.
Update: OMG! She fixed it!! Not because she works at DDOT though. She used the app to contact their tech support lol
Dh told me last night he hasn't had taxes taken out of his unemployment. I don't know how this is going to effect us, but I have a feeling it will completely bite us in the ass. And I'm angry at myself for not being on top of things, but dammit, dh, stop being so fucking breezy all the time.
I'm just really overwhelmed lately. there is some stuff we are trying to work through with my 3 year old, my tenant in my townhouse is a whiny fucker and I am pretty much the only one dealing with it because my H works so much, and I have a bunch of paperwork due this month, but I have to take off a few days for appointments for my daughter.
I need a break but I don't see myself getting one anytime soon.
I'm happy to take the kids to the park so you can have a break-let me know!

My 78-year-old aunt fell, hitting her head. At the hospital, she had a seizure and is now in a medically-induced coma. No idea yet how it will all turn out. (This happened Wednesday, I heard about it Thursday, but I'll still going to count it under Friday sucks.)

Today we had to get a new alternator for our primary vehicle, and I had a CT scan. So very $$$. I mean, we're lucky because DH got an extra big paycheck today (Oct is a 3 paycheck month, so no benefits are deducted from this check) so I should be thankful for that. But I just feel pissed because I was planning on making a big payment on our CC and adding to our e-fund, which is not going to happen now. Every time we have the opportunity to get ahead, something like this pops up. I just feel really frustrated and a bit defeated (don't worry, I'm not giving up, just sulking).
But after reading this thread I have a little perspective. Mine are not big problems in the grand scheme of things.
purpleminion, it stinks when a 3 paycheck month gets eaten into like that. But you are making good progress otherwise AND at least u could use the 3rd paycheck versus getting into $$ trouble. Keep on keepin on Purple!
I am so sorry, but my heart warms to hear they were married last week. (Heart)
Me too. I cried many, many tears-but the absolute true love that was shown was pretty damn amazing. I'm so glad that they were able to stream it so people they knew from around the world could watch!!
